Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. What is the ruling on one who dealt with a sorcerer to cast spells on some women and children and committed fornication with them? What should I do so that Allah forgives me?
Answer:
This is a major crime from two aspects. The first aspect is sorcery. Your cooperation with the sorcerer and the practice of sorcery is disbelief (kufr). Learning sorcery and teaching it is disbelief. Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He, said:[Al-Baqarah 2:102] "We are but a trial." The two angels who teach sorcery, Harut and Marut, teach sorcery as a trial, a test, and an examination. However, they advise those who come to learn, saying to them, "We are but a trial," meaning a test for people, so do not commit disbelief. This is advice indicating that the one who learns sorcery commits disbelief.
Before that, He, Glorified and Exalted is He, said:[Al-Baqarah 2:102] "They disbelieved by teaching people sorcery." Thus, He made teaching sorcery disbelief and learning it disbelief. So you have fallen into this crime, and the second crime is fornication, may Allah protect us from it. This is a crime. [Al-Isra 17:32] So you must repent to Allah, Mighty and Majestic. You must repent and do not despair of the mercy of Allah. If you repent with a sincere repentance, Allah will accept your repentance. Yes.

But the two angels do not teach anyone unless they say, "We are a trial, so do not disbelieve [by practicing magic]." And [yet] they learn from them that by which they cause separation between a man
وَمَا يُعَلِّمَانِ مِنْ أَحَدٍ حَتَّىٰ يَقُولَا إِنَّمَا نَحْنُ فِتْنَةٌ فَلَا تَكْفُرْ فَيَتَعَلَّمُونَ مِنْهُمَا مَا يُفَرِّقُونَ بِهِ بَيْنَ الْمَرْءِBefore that, He, Glorified and Exalted is He, said:
but the devils disbelieved, teaching people magic
وَلَٰكِنَّ الشَّيَاطِينَ كَفَرُوا يُعَلِّمُونَ النَّاسَ السِّحْرَAnd do not approach unlawful sexual intercourse. Indeed, it is ever an immorality and is evil as a way.
وَلَا تَقْرَبُوا الزِّنَىٰ إِنَّهُ كَانَ فَاحِشَةً وَسَاءَ سَبِيلًا
